Question 1
Describe a time when, what was your role in xyz project
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yahoo
Interview
Started with a phone screen round, then 5 virtual onsite rounds consisting of two System Designs, two Behavioural rounds and a DSA round was taken. All of the interviewers came well prepared and conducted the interviews smoothly.
I applied online. I interviewed at Yahoo (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
I had interview with hiring manager, but it felt like a waste of time. The interviewer seemed disinterested, even yawning while I was discussing my projects. The interview ran over by half an hour past the scheduled time. I learned that they have a large monolithic system using outdated technologies. Overall, it was disappointing and felt like a waste of time.
